LIMITED EDITION OF 200 PIECES!U-Boat Capsule Limited Edition Automatic Stainless Steel Black Dial Brown Leather Strap Date Mens Watch Model# 8807First introduced in 2015 at Baselworld, U-Boat releases a new range of Capsule watches which are still inspired by 1930's bathyspheres mixed with steampunk aesthetics. This U-Boat Capsule is a limited edition of only 200 pieces and features a massive 50 mm stainless steel case that holds a deep black metal dial with three superimposed layers and a visible opening on leverage under a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal, sealed to the case via an independent external bezel fastened with 5 external screws. This allows for a long side window running around the watch circumference which gives a glimpse of the dial from another perspective much like seeing Jules Verne's imaginary underwater worlds from a bathysphere's porthole. It has luminescent baton hands, indices, and Arabic numerals with steel brushed frames at the 4, 8, and 12 o'clock positions as hour markers, all treated with beige Super-LumiNova. This "Destro"(right-handed) sports watch is also equipped with a lefty screw-down crown, highly distinctive with its "canteen watch" inspired crown protective cap and lever with patented crown extraction system at the 10 o'clock position and a discreet date aperture at the 9 o'clock position. Fitted with a brown leather strap secured by a stainless steel buckle which gives off a casual look. This watch also features a solid caseback, laser-engraved with a bathysphere submersible detail with a screwed-in limited edition number plate, is sealed shut by 4 external screws wherein underneath lies a Sellita caliber SW 200, a Swiss automatic movement personalized to U-Boat specifications beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is water-resistant up to 100 meters/330 feet.Like all of our watches, this U-Boat Capsule Limited Edition Automatic Stainless Steel Black Dial Brown Leather Strap Date Mens Watch is brand new and comes in its original packaging.A watch brand founded out of Italy's Tuscany region 23 years ago, U-Boat is a company based in a country "villa" within Gragnano's hills, a land of marvelous inspiration for founder, Italo Fontana. Known for its distinctive, bespoke designs and oversized cases, U-Boat watches stemmed from Italo's grandfathers' drawings of watch designs for the Italian Navy which back then, did not materialize. Italo personally designs every watch, leaving behind his imprint, name, and persona in flesh and blood. In a span of just a few years, U-Boat has successfully opened boutiques around the world and are now available in more than 60 key markets and with their online boutique as well.
